Device Description

The Fotona StarWalker Laser System Family is based on the Nd:YAG (1064 nm) and frequency doubled KTP Nd:YAG (532 nm) laser technology. There is one optical cavity containing the Nd:YAG crystal. The frequency doubled KTP Nd:YAG wavelength is achieved by directing the Nd:YAG laser beam through a frequency doubling non-linear crystal. The Nd:YAG laser is activated by means of the use of flashlamps. After the cavity, a red diode aiming beam is reflected onto a coaxial beam path using a beamsplitter assembly. The combined therapeutic and aiming beams are guided by articulated arm to a focusing variable spot handpiece. Optionally, the KTP Nd:YAG beam can be guided to a 585nm dye converter handpiece, or to a 650nm dye laser converter handpiece. The dye handpieces convert the KTP 532 nm wavelength beam into a 585 nm or a 650 nm wavelength, correspondingly. Both lasers are used in non-contact mode. The user activates laser emission by means of a footswitch.
